Bonjour, So many “guinguettes” so little time Bonjour,

So many “guinguettes” so little time!

I just discovered a new one, in Chartres, a few hours before meeting my new tour group. 

The sun was shining. The birds were chirping. Ducks were gliding along the riverbanks.

“La Petite Venise” proved too hard to resist. 

Bucolic atmosphere, friendly service, home-cooked finger food (I had the chicken tenders and made my own dessert.) 

N’en jetez plus la coupe est pleine ! Enough said: Merci to “la Petite Venise” and the city of Chartres for another “petit bonheur.”

I am taking a group of North American travelers around la Belle France this month. Join the fun: Follow our adventures on Facebook and Instagram.

Bonjour In a few hours the tour guide will be pa Bonjour 

In a few hours the tour guide will be packing her bags again. 

By Friday she will be meeting a new group of travelers in Paris. 

Together they will travel around special corners of La Belle France.

When they reach the Loire Valley and follow roads built over “levées” (dykes) to protect local towns from a mighty and unpredictable river, she will tell stories. 

She’ll try and explain what the area’s renowned “douceur de vivre” means. The gentle lifestyle? 

Pictures are better than words. The tour guide might just as well take her traveling companions along a small dirt path by the Loire river. 

A bientôt, Belle Touraine, my adopted home.

April in Paris. 

After two weeks of glorious weather rain and chillier temps have returned. 

Memories remain. They are the stuff dreams (of Paris) are made of.

Glorious spring weather in the French capital city: Visitors inside the Luxembourg gardens agree! 

Just a friendly “Coucou!” and a quick update on my new French Immersion Workshops introduced earlier this month.

Bon week-end!

Bonjour. What if you could come to France this fa Bonjour.

What if you could come to France this fall and immerse yourself in local life in a beautiful, mid-sized city in the heart of the Loire Valley?

What if you could hone your French language skills during daily discussions with 5 other similar-minded students and an experienced French language instructor as your local guide?

It’s time to put all these French lessons you’ve taken to the test “in situ” - in la Belle France. 

Are you an Intermediate or Advanced level speaker? 

My new French Immersion workshops in Tours, Loire Valley, could be just what you have been looking for. 

These programs are not for everyone. 

You will want to read the information on the France with Vero website before reaching out. You’ll also want to ensure the workshops are a good fit for your travel style and French language learning goals.

I’ll be meeting France with Vero Patrons and students on Zoom on Sunday at 6:00pm. Like always, they will get the scoop first, priority registration (a 7-day head start) and a discount.

By Saturday April 5 registration will be open to all as we fill remaining spots. 

October 2025. Tours, Loire Valley. With Véro. Two workshops. Only 6 participants per group.

I hope to see some of you in town in the fall!

Bonjour. - “I’ll have what she’s having. Wa Bonjour.

- “I’ll have what she’s having. Wait. It’s purple. WHAT is she having?”

- “Something with lavender, obviously.”

Mauvaise pioche. Bad draw.

I am having refreshing mineral water and a dash of “sirop de violette” (violet syrup.) 

Not only is it pretty and fragrant, it’s also delicious. Have you tried it?

You can take the girl out of Toulouse, but you can’t take Toulouse out of the girl. 

I returned to my hometown recently on the way back from Marseille just in time to catch a fun annual festival dedicated to a Toulouse icon since the 19th century: “la violette.” 

Wait until you see what they do with violets there! 

A new virtual tour has just hit the France with Vero channel today. 

It’s short and sweet, just like a pretty little flower I know. 

Join me in Toulouse? (If you don’t know how to get to the France with Vero video library then you’ve obviously just arrived here. Bienvenue!)
